 V1-, , ,
 Well, hold steady Ybor City
 You're up to your neck in the sweat and wet confetti
 If you want to get a little bit light in the heady
 It's gonna have to get a little bit heavy
 They're jamming jetskis into the jetty now
 With some guy who looks like Rocco Siffredi
 And I've heard he's been dead once already
 It's going down right now in Lowertown
 They're skipping off the good ship U.S.S.S.S.S.S.S.S.S. Sexuality
 Searching for the merchant with the five second delivery
 They're slipping soft rock into their setlist now
 They got some new guy that looks just like Phil Lynott
 We're stumbling but I think we're still in it
 Pre Chorus-,
 It's a big world, girl, and I can't understand it
 We're tiny white specks in a bright blue planet
 Baby take off your beret
 Everyone's a critic and most people are DJs
 I was a teenage ice machine
 I kept it cool in coolers and I drank until I dreamed
 And when I dream I always dream about the scene
 All these kids they look like little lambs looking up at me
 I was a Twin Cities trash bin
 I did everything they'd give me
 I'd jam it into my system
 She got me cornered by the kitchen
 I said I'll do anything but listen
 Pre Chorus-,
 To some weird-talking chick who just can't understand
 That we're hot soft spots on a hard rock planet
 Baby take off your beret
 Everyone's a critic and most people are DJs
 And everything gets played
 Working backwards from the doctor to the drugs
 From the packie to the taxi to the cabbie to the club
 A thousand kids will fall in love in all these clubs tonight
 A thousand other kids will end up gushing blood tonight
 Two thousand kids won't get all that much sleep tonight
 Two thousand kids they still feel pretty sweet tonight
 Yeah, and I still feel pretty sweet

Well, hold steady Ybor City
You're up to your neck in the sweat and wet confetti
If you want to get a little bit light in the heady
It's gonna have to get a little bit heavy

They're jamming jetskis into the jetty now
With some guy who looks like Rocco Siffredi
And I've heard he's been dead once already

It's going down right now in Lowertown
They're skipping off the good ship U.S.S.S.S.S.S.S.S.S. Sexuality
Searching for the merchant with the five second delivery

They're slipping soft rock into their setlist now
They got some new guy that looks just like Phil Lynott
We're stumbling but I think we're still in it

Pre Chorus-[E], [F#m]

It's a big world, girl, and I can't understand it
We're tiny white specks in a bright blue planet
Baby take off your beret

All these kids they look like little lambs looking up at me

I'd jam it into my system

She got me cornered by the kitchen

Two thousand kids they still feel pretty sweet tonight
